Fighting Burglary Charges

The legal definition of burglary is entering another person's home, business,
or other owned property, with the intention to commit a crime. Although
many might equate theft with burglary, the crime can also encompass many
other felonies. Since felonies are typically involved, perpetrators often
face harsh and serious penalties in Texas.

What defense are available for burglary cases?

These are two parts to burglary charges and both must be proved in order
to convict someone. The first is that breaking and entering occurred.
The second part of is that there was intent to commit a crime. The intent
may be the most difficult to prove for prosecution since it involves knowing
and proving the person's state of mind at that time. That is why having
great defense on your side can help counter any arguments.

Here are some of the defenses we can use for your burglary charge:

Show that you did not intend to commit the crime

Show that you did not enter the property intentionally or without permission

There was no living in the home or the building had no owner

You believed you had been invited in

There are even ways to lessen the charges if these defenses cannot apply.
For example, we can argue that the crime occurred during the day time,
which is often less severely punished than a burglary that occurs at night.
You should discuss the circumstances of your case with a Lubbock theft
crime attorney immediately to begin building your defense.
